Anyone any good at soldering in chips? Scotland?
« on: 07 December 2008, 12:37:37 »
Hi,

Discovered yesterday that my chip needs to be soldered into my ECU, which means the old one needs de-soldering. Im not willing to do it as my soldering is crap :-/, would rather someone who knows what there doing has a go. Long shot I know, but is there anyone that could help? Central Scotland area preffered?

Cheers,
Iain

Try a local TV repair shop - might work out cheaper than posting it off to a member?

Also, get them to fit a socket, rather than just solder new one in place.

Thanks for the offer, looks likely i'll have to take up one of the offers i've had, would have thought that business is money, seems not
